A Muslim mob in Jamvaramgarh, Jaipur, Rajasthan, attacked a rally by Hindus on the occasion of Hindu Nav Varsh and pelted stones at the rally. According to reports, heavy police forces were deployed for the security of the rally, but they couldn’t do anything.
Later the Muslim mob was controlled when additional forces arrived. The incident happened at Tala village of Raisar area, Jamvaramgarh, when a bike rally of Hindus came under the attack of a mob wearing skullcaps. The bike rally started at around 10.15 am from Khel Maidan, Chandwaji. According to the planned route, the rally was to go through Chandwaji, Pilwa, Chandawas, Tala village, Rajpura, Bachyawas, Shyampura, Tala Johra, Dantala Gujran, Dantala Meena, Bilod and Toda, before ending at Todeshwar Mahadev Temple.
The rally is called Hindu Ranbheri Rally, and it is taken out every year on the occasion of the Hindu Nav Varsh.
When the rally reached the Tala village, which comes under Raiser police station jurisdiction, at around 3 pm, a mob wearing skullcaps pelted stones on the rally. However, the rally went ahead despite the attack. A video of the incident has been doing rounds on social media.
BJP MP Rajyavardhan Rathore shared the video on Twitter, saying that a Hindu rally was attacked in Jaipur’s Jamvaramgarh today. He also blamed the Congress Government in Rajasthan for rising Islamist mentalities in the state.
“PFI terrorist mentality has flourished under Congress rule. This government also shows softness on those who pelt stones and violence on the events of Hindu community. These incidents are the result of this appeasement,” Rajyavardhan Rathore said. He also added that the administration should act promptly against such madrassas and miscreants.

कांग्रेस शासन में पीएफआई आतंकी मानसिकता फली-फूली है। यह सरकार हिंदू समुदाय के आयोजनों पर पथराव, हिंसा करने वालों पर नरमी भी दिखाती है। ये घटनाएं इसी तुष्टिकरण का नतीजा हैं।
